Yea... and with leaked 1.2 my Flaemo project perform better on N810 that on N900... that's funny too

That wouldn't be the first time... MMS, power drain issues, exchange connectivity..

I have to agree, its not a phone, its a computer with phone bits bolted on, fine thats what i wanted, thats why I bought it, but now its an out of date compuer (withstanding an announcment from nokia that I hope for)... I would expect this to be a run of the mill update... hope I am not dissapointed...

sooo i bought my n900 because of full flash in it and that was what nokia sayed about the n900.when it doesnt get flash 10 so i can get my money back or not?it was the same with the ps3 that looses linux after a firmware update and some customers get there money back from sony because sony promoted the ps3 with linux support......

This is what I need on my n900. Flash 10.1. Protrait mode in the music player and a on screen keyboad in protrait on the web browser then my n900 would be perfect. The n900 is already faster the most phones when overclocked. The meamo community is the best i have see when dealing with making apps and other things. So can i just get these 3 things ?

I bought my N900 from Nokia Shop Italy.
Tech spec says Adobe® Flash® Player 9.4 support.
They are protected from any complaints...

[Puts suit on. Checks to make sure everything is zipped up tight.]

Unlike other incompatibilities, this one I like.

flash is the new fax: Just another "Please Go Away" technology I ignore most of the time except for those painful moments when I'm actually forced to use it.

When the n900 specs said Flash 9.4 (?), most of us put our expectations in order. Some like to use the term "Dead on Arrival" when describing the n900, but I think the term "Frozen in Time" is more accurate; it's much easier to thaw something than to resurrect it. But isn't that part of what makes the n900 so exciting? Of all current devices, it seemingly has the least clear future. I love that!

Or not, time to eat our words... thanks Nokia!

what about.........

Is there any way to program something into the existing flash support so that it reports back to a website, telling it that it is really flash10.1?

I have no linux/maemo programming experience at all, but I've done things like this on windows machines before, for example when you can't find the correct driver for something, you can TELL windows to 'just shut up and take my word for it that this is what the device is.'

There must be a mechanism to put a line in to the code of the flash files that changes what version it reports as?

Is not working like that, First recognition mechanism is in html file. I can mention that I'm using flash 9.0 even if is not true. Way around? Just overwrite html file or just play swf directly (Flash Launcher). For now for example I compiling my Flaemo Project to Flash 10.0 but because I'm using device manager I'm able to switch the options and methods base on your settings to avoid of using any Flash 10 stuff. This way Flaemo is working on N900. But If I could use some Flash 10.0 functionality like vectors or triangle based drawings api you simply shouldn't see anything on the screen. If I will use Flash 10.1 stuff on it there is no way you can cheat. More stuff like tap, gestures, accelerometer, GPS drawing API from Flash 10.0 is something you must use to get advantage of GPU acceleration will never let you display any content if you truly running flash 9.

It's possible to compile some stuff once porting it to flash 9 and take advantage up to flash 10.1. More work required but it is. But how flash content will be displayed is pretty much depend of flash player version.
